If you're lucky, you might get more than one offer. But how do
you land the one you really want — your dream internship offer?

And if you do get multiple offers, how do you choose which
one to take?

Business Insider spoke to a few recent Wall Street interns about
their strategies.

It starts with leverage

One recent summer analyst, who asked to remain anonymous,
described how she managed to turn a consulting offer into an
internship with a competitive team at a bulge bracket bank.

In her sophomore year summer, the analyst scored a Deloitte
internship for the following summer. But she knew she really
wanted to get into banking, so she used that offer, which had a
November deadline, to get an accelerated offer with a small
investment bank in Baltimore,
where she was from.

Having scored that internship, she decided to push
a little further.

"I was like, 'Wait, I was raised in Baltimore and I've been here
forever. I kind of want to try going to New York.'"

So she started networking with all the alumni she knew at bulge
bracket banks, using her current offer as a talking point.

One offered her a "super day" — an important step in the
application process that usually follows a first-round interview.
During a "super day" students are invited to a bank's
headquarters for a full day of back-to-back interviews with
different vice presidents and managing directors.

The summer analyst got an offer following that super day with
only two weeks to respond — one of which was a holiday.

She used the offer to score interviews and super days at a
handful of other firms in that time. But in the end, she wound up
taking the original bulge bracket bank offer.

It's all about that first offer

That summer analyst's story is not uncommon.

For many Wall Street interns, getting an offer fast from a top
firm is key, regardless of which bank it is with.

Here's how one Deutsche Bank intern put it:

"There's the upper echelon ... the bulge bracket banks, but
outside of those, they're all very similar," he said.
"Deutsche was just kind of one of the ones I got into early."

He said the bank "hooked" him in with an early interview and
offer and only gave him one week to decide.

The first intern described the whole process of using
one offer as leverage for another like "a snowball
effect" that allows you to land one interview after another. But
ultimately, she said, there's only one end goal for young Wall
Street hopefuls:
